The R716 is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects Vanderbijlpark with the R26 between Villiers and Frankfort.

[1] Its north-western terminus is a junction with the R42 in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng (just south of Sharpeville).

[1] From Viljoensdrif, it heads south-east for 24 kilometres to the town of Deneysville, where it meets the south-western terminus of the R549.

[1] Immediately after Orangeville, it crosses the point where the Wilge River enters the Vaal Dam as the Magrieta Prinsloo Bridge, a bridge which only allows vehicles going one direction to cross it at a time (using a traffic light system).

After crossing the Wilge River, it heads east-south-east, terminating at a junction with the R26, midway between Frankfort to the south and Villiers to the north.
